Summary

I was trained in mathematics and computer science at Tel Aviv University, now I am chairing the computer science department at Ben Gurion University. I have worked in the areas of computational geometry and bioinformatics, being mostly interested in shape resemblance and matching. Now I apply it to computer vision and image processing in my work on historical document analysis. We segment highly degraded documents, identify lines, and recognize words using pattern matching.
